Used to have a sense of humor, but lost it at the last election. Most awkward human with no sense of direction. Retired public library director so authorized to recommend book titles.

The tech titan and President Trump say they will avoid any conflicts of interest, but it's difficult for the public to verify that.

His first Russian buddy. From @craigunger.bsky.social book American Kompromat probably the best account of the felon's red past! Give it a read!! #booksky

DOGE’s expenses have risen above 40 million, with weekly costs now exceeding 10 million. We will release an updated DOGE staff list soon.

There’s something happening in this country.

BREAKING: USCP is arresting Enrique Tarrio for swiping his hand at a counterprotester who got in his face.

Remember when America had friends? Like a month ago?

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

Canadians are now referring to the United States as the 11th province

I spoke to the 'Decoding Geopolitics' podcast in Munich: www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLDT...

As Trump makes concessions to Russia, he is showing weakness on a level unprecedented in modern US history. His position is so weak that it is unlikely to convince anyone. Trump is a sheep in wolf’s clothing. The wolves can tell the difference "The Weak Strongman" snyder.substack.com/p/the-weak-s...

The waste is coming from the White House. 👇

This is how you do it.

Every reporter today should be asking every Congressional Republican why they're OK siding with Putin and walking away from NATO and democracy.

Dark Pence is back.

I’m George Takei and I approve of this message.

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Brazil shows that it can be done. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/w...

Thank you @newsguard.bsky.social for continuing the exhausting work of quantifying the impact of Musk's lies.

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

CDC staffers, who requested anonymity for fear of retaliation, speak of the increasing chaos upending their work since Trump's return. “The feeling in the building is fear.”

True words.

Musk’s website, DOGE, leaked classified government information to the entire world. NOFURN [Not Releasable to Foreign Nationals] information on their website about the [intelligence community] headcount has prompted a scramble as people check whether their information has been accessed.

The West was unified, if not perfect, in the face of Russia’s full-scale aggression against Ukraine three years ago. @rlingur.bsky.social reflects on Europe’s response as Trump's return raises concern over US support: www.justsecurity.org/107999/trump...

This.

Sounds logical but the government has duties businesses do not and this method does not improve or save money more than it indiscriminately destroys www.politico.com/news/magazin...

A drunk renaming a US military base after a foreign power who fought to kill the US military seems as bit traitorous, no?

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.

Thanks to everyone who took part in #TeslaTakedown yesterday! It was a fantastic event, with large crowds across the US and several other countries. Here's a thread with just a few of the news breaks, from national outlets (front page of BBC News, baby!) to local TV news. TeslaTakedown.com

Captures it perfectly.

Don’t buy stuff on February 28. Money’s the only thing these dicks understand. #resist

Knowledge is power…

Our team reviewed the entire DOGE website. Nothing they have identified constitutes evidence of fraud or corruption—both of which are crimes. Feel free to audit us. The funds were allotted by Congress, and OIGs regularly reviewed expenditures for fraud.

Weird way to drink “water”…

At the moment, mansion-sized Asteroid 2024-YR4 has a one-in-fifty chance of hitting Earth in the next eight years. Now might be a bad time to reduce spending on Science. Just sayin’.

Screw Google for capitulating to this childish nonsense.
